Man Sentenced For Killing Serena & Venus Williams' Sister Released, Re-Arrested

The man who said the authorities fired Serena seriously and their younger sister, Yetunde Price, in 2003, were released from prison earlier this year, after more than a decade after the gates , PEOPLE confirms.  However, it seems that Robert Edward Maxfield was arrested again Friday night in Compton, California, and remains in custody after allegedly violating his probation, according to County Sheriff officials in Los Angeles and the United States prison records  The nature of the alleged violation is not clear.  A spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation of the state, who confirmed the release of the Maxfield in Price case, could not say immediately whether Maxfield was arrested at Compton.  Men in both cases share the same biographical information, including age, name and race.  The price was also killed in Compton. ...
 Speaking generically, DOC spokesman Luis Patiño tells PEOPLE that someone who violates their parole then goes before a judge and could have their parole revoked, at which point they would be sent back to jail.

The Maxfield in Price’s case, now 38, pleaded no contest in 2006 to voluntary manslaughter in Price’s death just after midnight on Sept. 14, 2003, the Associated Press previously reported.

Maxfield had been charged with murder but accepted the lesser count on the eve of his third trial, following two mistrials.

(A no-contest plea essentially has the same effect as a guilty plea, but the defendant does not admit the accusations against them.)

Maxfield was sentenced in April 2006 to 15 years in prison, and he was paroled in March, according to state corrections officials.

Patiño, the DOC spokesman, could not say for how long Maxfield was set to be paroled after his release — but he disputed reports that Maxfield was freed “early.”

He served nearly three years in jail, between his arrest and sentencing, and was then placed in prison where he served nearly another 12 years before his March parole. FOLLOW fb.me/jaiyeorieblog m.me/jaiyeorieblog ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
